Here's my list of top 10 anime.

Saved you a click (roughly ordered by release date):

K-On - I didn't think that I would be into the Cute-Girls-Doing-Cute-Things subgenre. K-On changed my mind.
Konosuba - I enjoyed it so much that I had to check out its source material, making Konosuba the first Japanese light novel I've read.
Cells at work! - It is entertaining and educational. Apparently, the information presented is accurate too.
Cautious Hero

Cautious Hero mild meta / non-plot spoiler

Its plot twist caught me off guard the most in anime.

The Demon Girl Next Door - I didn't think I would be into the Magical Girl genre. TDGND changed my mind.
86 - It left such a deep impression on me; possibly my top anime. Also, it is my favourite "Gundam" show.
Belle - This is my favourite anime movie.
The Witch from Mercury - It brought me back into anime after a long hiatus. Without WfM, I may not have watch a number of other top anime.
100 Girlfriends - Its source material is the only long-running manga that I'm following. Also, it's quite possibly the only good harem anime.
Frieren - It is The Lord of the Rings of anime. I daresay it is the best produced anime so far.

Here are other 10/10 anime that didn't make the list.

Some reasons for some of them not being among my top 10:

they are not as special - see reasoning above
they do not have consistently 10/10 seasons - e.g. Bofuri season 1 vs season 2
they lack rewatchability for me - I have rewatched at least some scenes, if not whole episodes or seasons, of my top 10 anime
they are simply not as entertaining as my top 10

Right now, the anime that has a shot at making it into my top 10 is Medalist. It could very well be my first 10/10, and my favourite, sport anime.

After falling in love with 100 Girlfriends, I watched the first season of KonoSuba on a recommendation and didn't like it much. I didn't hate it but if it wasn't only 10 eps I probably would have dropped it. For whatever reason most of the comedy in KonoSuba doesn't land for me like 100 Girlfriends does. Kazuma isn't very likable, he just seems selfish and gross. The girls are fun, if mostly a little one note. I get the Megumin thing though, she's great and I see why she's so loved.

I dunno, maybe I'll get back to it at some point.

That do be like that sometimes. Entertainment is subjective; humour even more so.

He is. IMO he follows the trend of anti-hero protagonist who behaves like a dick (e.g. Deadpool). I can see why people dislike him.

I dunno, maybe I'll get back to it at some point.

Personally, I hardly give dropped anime second chances. I don't have a lot of time, but there are so many anime out there. Every minute I spent trying to make it work is time I could have spent watching another show, anime or not. Or reading another book or manga, or doing something else in my life.

I'd imagine it'll be the same for most people. Of course, if we have all the time in the world, it will be a different story.
